NEEDED: TILE-OVER IN THE LADIES ROOM

I don't profess to be a tile expert, but I find it kind of hard to believe that this particular tile was approved and installed just so for the women's bathroom at DCOTA, South Florida's to-the-trade-mostly design monolith. When I walked in to use the loo today, I nearly jumped. Then I realized the reddish streak was just odd and not very attractive veining.  I vote for a re-tile!

FAR FROM FRAY: I XOXO PIERRE FREY

When i saw this write up about Pierre Frey's Arboretum fabric in August's Town & Country Magazine, it reminded me of  the Pierre Frey lovelies I saw last week while breezing quickly through the DCOTA. Smitten with stripes, velvets, and pictorial designs, I got fixated on the section that featured images of life past and present. Cottons and linens boasted updated interpretations of shells, antlers, crystal, ceramics, and toile.

I left home without my trusty Canon, and was left shooting pics with my (ugh!) Blackberry. Here are 3 patterns that made me swoon and fall back in XOXO with Pierre Frey.
